>Research has shown — and lawsuits have argued — that the tests, long used to measure aptitude for college, are far more connected to family income and don't provide meaningful information about a student's ability to succeed in college.
Has anyone looked at whether family income is a good indicator of whether students get through college? I would bet it is.
- Glavnokoman 5y agoThat would be highly politically incorrect research. Meaning there would not be any. Which allows for formally correct statements like "there is no research indicating..." and your bet is categorized as unscientific.
- paxys 5y agoConsidering how it's quite literally impossible to get through college today without external financial support anyways, I would be pretty surprised if there wasn't a correlation.
